With exploding cells, your most complex SQL query or model just got a whole lot simpler.
TL;DR:
The status-quo
Whether you're a data engineer trying to understand a complex data model, or an analyst trying to make sense of a heavily-nested SQL query, your approach probably involves the same steps:
- copy part of the query, paste into a tab in your IDE, run it against your database and repeat until you have more tabs than you can keep track of
- screenshotting the results into a document so you can see them side by side
- share this with your team when you need to explain the query/model to someone else
